The College of Education at Oregon State University continues its commitment to diversifying the teaching force and providing early childhood, elementary, and secondary teachers who can work effectively with English Language Learners.

The English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and Bilingual endorsement programs are designed to teach teachers how to effectively work with students who are learning English as an additional language. The coursework addresses language acquisition, research-based approaches for instruction, and language policy that affects and influences classroom practice when working with English Language Learners.
